I live in Switzerland too, born and raised here, and everyone tips only when the service is better than usual, or we round up and give a franc or two for the service
Thats interesting. I guess there is no general pattern here.
My personal experience when I was jobbing as a waiter during my university time was different. Larger tips (more than a round up) were rather the rule than the exception.
Due to the fact that all tips are usually shared with everyone working in the restaurant I usually even tip if I was not that happy with the service because I liked the food or also the other way around.

This has been my experience in the Suisse Romande. Maybe you are from the Schweizerdeutsch side?
Exactly. I do live in Zurich.
I'm in Geneva quite often and even there when having lunch with my romand co-workers they usually tip around 10%.
It still is quite surprising how even those "habits" are different in all the different regions here.
To give no tip is in my experience considered quite rude. I only ever do it when I was unhappy with the service.
